Street nameplates

We are responsible for the provision, management and maintenance of street nameplates.

A street nameplate is a sign which designates the road name. In some cases, it may have additional inscriptions identifying those roads that lead from them.

We as also not responsible for any other road signage or highway maintenance, which are the responsibility of Hampshire County Council. These include:

New housing developments

With a new housing development, the developer is responsible for arranging the provision of all street nameplates. The cost for all new installations is the responsibility of the developer, which we order to a standard specification and erect on the developer's behalf.

We maintain these nameplates once the street has been adopted.

The information for ordering new street nameplates is provided to developers when new streets are named by our address management team.
